The statuette look's great!!!

I have to say, I am not so impressed with Sideshow these days. Look at that blank stare they captured with the head sculpt. He looks like he just saw a ghost or something. Wait till you see the spider Maul, the spider mechanisms look great then they went with a "Hero Sculpt" on his chest and arms. He looks like a super hero rather than a decrepid, mad, canibalistic Sith. If I was collecting pieces like this Kotobukia would be getting my money.

Malgus i got is GG.....is there a sideshow version?
I must admit the facial expression isn't much to look at........should be fearsome not fearful

Great catch! 2 Malgus fig's!???( He say's in disbelief!) Holy crap good find's!

got 3 in total ner vod, gentle giant maquette and 2x VC96.........had to open one carefully to be operated on,the poor guy is in desperate need of a hip replacement.....and i think i got the perfect donor figure for i too,and minimal sculpting by the looks of it.

[Mando Assasin]

COOL! What figure is your donor!??

[benjani_1976]

it's a Gi Joe snake eyes,about $4 (£2.51) from viperskingdom on ebay..........the hip on this figure splits the same as a Malgus.The separation point is flat across the torso instead of the usual curved waist joint.

Nice idea!!!

I listened to the last cast with BCA and realized there were a few of the Jumbo line I needed to get. I am now happy to report I have the C6 Lando coming and just pre-ordered the Yoda through our site sponsor MWC.

[Tamer]

Just got the Jumbo C6 Lando in. It looks fantastic.

[Spookymufu]

got my first GG mini bust the other day!

Got the Deluxe Sandtrooper Squad Leader.....Its heavier then I expected it to be, I like it, it will go good with my new helmet display.

[Tamer]

That looks nice.

I just got in the PGM Veers and ordered the Jumbo Bossk today. I am really starting to become a sucker for the Kenner 12 inch throwbacks.

[Spookymufu]

Tamer, I saw the 12" R2D2 the other day, first time I ever saw one of them, they look pretty cool on those gigantic cards

[Tamer]

Yeah, its hard to get someone who has never seen them to understand how nostaligic these things are to the very first vintage three and three quarter figures.

And the other great thing, the packages are made to pop em out and then put them back in with no card or bubble damage.

Shawn, did you get the armored version of Veers?  GG had sent out a Tweet on Twitter about the fact that at the zero-hour, they altered the design and those not getting the exclusive version got a non-armored version.  Made a LOT of people pretty angry, and with good reason.  It was too late for most to cancel their orders, and retailers like EE and BBTS are going to get stuck with tons of them.

[Tamer]

Yes, I was able to get the PG Version back before I let my PG Membership expire, but thought I was being stupid because the other version was so much cheaper from the other etailers. Glad I did because with the PG version you get both armored and regular style. And yes, I thought it was pretty crappy to not tell anyone until it was being sent out. I also want to note that Most Wanted Collectibles was kind enough to send me a message informing me of the change and gave me the option to cancel my order for the regular version. I got it anyway and plan on using it as a prize.
